Bonsai Snip

A new tree every day. Five snips. Find the bonsai hidden inside, then see how your prune ranked against the world.

Each day, every Bonsai Snip player worldwide is given the same algorithmically grown tree. You have five snips to prune it into a bonsai — thinning the canopy, finding asymmetry, opening up negative space.

Submit your prune, see how you scored on three axes, share the result, come back tomorrow.

A 90-second cozy puzzle with the same starting tree as everyone else, every day.

• A unique tree every day, deterministically generated from the date. Your friends and strangers are pruning the same tree you are. • Tap a branch, then tap Snip. Five total. The cut cascades to the subtree — choose your roots carefully. • Three scoring axes: asymmetry, density balance, negative space. Each 0–300, total 0–900. The score breakdown shows you what the algorithm noticed. • Daily Game Center leaderboards. See how today's prune ranked against the world. • Watercolor / sumi-e aesthetic. Calm animations only — no screen-shake, no bounce, no streaks to maintain. • Share your pruned tree as a 1080×1920 image, branded with the date and your score. • No accounts. No notifications.
